I work for an organisation with a rich history of 'restructures' (i.e. mass redundancies). Hitherto, when such a change has been announced, there has been collective consultation (due to volume of impacted employees), the minutes and slide decks of which have thereafter been shared via the internal Intranet, for everyone to peruse.
Recently, however, there's been another tranche, triggering another set of consultations. On this occasion, the associated slide decks (containing 'rationale', 'impact', and all the rest of it) and the minutes have been embargoed, and is only available to those who are at risk, and the associated internal union reps/HR.
Upon querying this I was informed it was these documents contain 'sensitive data'. Is the withholding of these documents from the workforce legit, or proscribed? I can't really find anything on ACAS that mentions this at all.
Many thanks!
